Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Templecombe

IfI were to acquire a freehold housein Templecombe mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Templecombe?

Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the Templecombe conveyancing searches. Your conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Templecombe. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Templecombe?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Templecombe. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

We previously appointed solicitors based in Templecombe on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Templecombe solicitor. Numerous firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

I am buying a property in Templecombe. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Aldermore be concerned?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Templecombe.

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Templecombe. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Templecombe and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I am purchasing my first flat in Templecombe with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Templecombe ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can look into this further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Templecombe. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
